Abstract
Increasing greenhouse gas emissions have resulted in greater motivation to find novel carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction technologies, where the reduction of CO2 to valuable chemical commodities is desirable. Molybdenum‐dependent formate dehydrogenase (Mo‐FDH) from Escherichia coli is a metalloenzyme that is able to interconvert formate and CO2. We describe a low‐potential redox polymer, synthesized by a facile method, that contains cobaltocene (grafted to poly(allylamine), Cc‐PAA) to simultaneously mediate electrons to Mo‐FDH and immobilize Mo‐FDH at the surface of a carbon electrode. The resulting bioelectrode reduces CO2 to formate with a high Faradaic efficiency of 99±5 % at a mild applied potential of −0.66 V vs. SHE.
